As far as what?
Your birth parents cannot force visitation with your children. They cannot inherit from your parents if your parents die intestate. At the same time, your parents cannot inherit from them through intestate laws.
Nevertheless, once your children are adults they can always look them up and establish a relationship with them. You or nobody else can stop this, especially with DNA services such as 23andMe and Ancestors.com. Moreover, they have a right to know their genetic medical history. This can only be done properly by talking with the family.
